Hi,
Bad odour from mouth has multiple causes including deposits on teeth, decayed teeth, food deposits in between teeth or any other extra oral causes such as gastritis. Since you say there are yellow spots on your lower teeth, it may be due to tartar on your teeth. Visit a nearby dentist once and get scaling done. The dentist will also check if bad odour is from any other different source. You can then use chlorhexidine mouthwash for 2 weeks and that should solve the problem, if your bad breath was due to deposit.
Next Steps
Visit a nearby dentist and get scaling done.
Health Tips
Maintain good oral hygiene.

A general checkup is essential to diagnose the cause and treat accordingly.
